Hey Anna
you ask me how to fix these things
but the truth is I don’t know
I never was an expert
in fact, I rarely could let go
Dear Anna
you’re barely seventeen
already at war with all you are
Put that gun down
I have learnt that love will take you far
You just have to take it slow
A little at a time your strength will grow
I’ll gladly tell you what I know
but we both make that path as we go
Remember
when everything was easy
As a child you never knew
what sorrow can do
when you were running up and down the avenue
Whenever
you’re searching in the corners
for a joy you can reclaim
just keep in mind your soul is still the same
You just have to take it slow
A little at a time your strength will grow
I’ll gladly tell you what I know
but we both make that path as we go
Hey Anna, come by
Dear Anna, hold tight
Anna
You’re afraid to lose yourself any minute
and wonder how to change what you’ve become
but you are not what you carry
on those days when you are weary
So Anna
there’s not much I can teach you
but I’ve learnt to trust myself
to put that gun down
You can find your people in this town
Whenever you feel you’re not enough and
someone else defines your worth
Polish that crown
No one has the right to put you down
You just have to take it slow
A little at a time your strength will grow
I’ll gladly tell you what I know
but we both make that path as we go
I know you think you cannot hold
but even blood gets stronger when it’s cold
